Zvihl Hassidim celebrated the Simchat Torah holiday with a series of events in Beitar Illit and Jerusalem. The reading of 'Mishneh Torah' and the Hoshana Rabbah prayer took place in the large sukkah near the central Beit Midrash in Beitar Illit. The main Simchat Torah festivities were held in the Slonim Beit Midrash hall on Yessod HaAvoda Street, which was rented specifically for the holiday.
Following the holiday, large crowds of Hassidim traveled to Jerusalem for the Hakafot Shniyot (second circuits) ceremony, which lasted for many hours. During this event, Rabbi Michal Zilber, head of the Zvihl Yeshiva, led the first circuit. Afterward, the Rebbe of Zvihl engaged in an extended, enthusiastic dance with the ancient Torah scroll belonging to the Maggid of Zlotchov.
